1. Plug the small end of one USB cable into the headset. Match
the arrows on the plug and headset to insert the plug correctly.
2. Plug the large end of this cable into a computer with a powered
USB connector. You may need to have the computer turned on.
Allow up to 3 hours for this first
charge, although it may take less
time.
The battery indicator on the back of
the headset blinks yellow while the
headset charges, then turns solid
green when charging is completed.
Note: Although the headset battery is partially charged by the
manufacturer, charging before you use it lengthens your talk time.
For more information on battery care and charging, refer to

Pairing your headset and mobile phone
The first time you turn on your Bose® Bluetooth®headset, it is
discoverable and ready for pairing. Your Bluetooth mobile phone
can pair and connect to discoverable devices like the headset.
On the phone, there is a list of these
devices under Tools, Bluetooth
Devices, or a similar menu title. Refer
to the instruction manual for your
phone if you are unfamiliar with this
feature or how to activate it.
To begin pairing:
1. Turn on the headset and the
mobile phone.
The Bluetooth indicator on the
back of the headset blinks blue
slowly to show that the headset is
discoverable.
2. Locate the Bluetooth device list on
your mobile phone.
3. Move down the list to the device
named Bose BT1 and make this
selection.

Note: If the Bose®headset does not appear in the list, press and
hold the Call button on the headset until the Bluetooth®light blinks
(in about 5 seconds). This makes the headset manually discoverable
so it shows up in the list for selection.
4. If your mobile phone asks for a passkey, enter digits 0000
and press OK. Some phones ask you to accept connection,
as well.
As the two devices connect, the Bluetooth indicator on the
headset flashes, then turns solid blue to indicate a successful
connection. This light turns off in 30 seconds when paring is done
for the first time.
To pair an additional phone (up to a total of 6):
With the mobile phone and your headset turned on, press and hold
the headset call button to make the headset discoverable again.
Then follow steps 2 – 4 beginning on page 5.
Deleting a no-longer-used phone
To make sure the headset no longer connects to an old mobile
phone, you can clear the headset memory and then re-pair it to
the phones you want.
To clear the headset pairing memory:
Simultaneously press the Call and Volume – buttons for 10
seconds. The headset reverts to discoverable mode, allowing you
to re-pair the mobile phone you want connected.

Using the headset
When you wear the headset properly, it provides the comfort you
expect from Bose.
Fitting the headset to your ear
The soft StayHear™ tip allows the headset to rest comfortably
along the bowl of your ear. The wing part of the tip fits just under
the ear ridge.
To determine if the tip is the right size:
1. Tilt the headset forward so the ear-
piece lines up with your ear canal.
Note: Which ear you use depends on
whether you own a left or right headset.

If you are no longer using multi-point, it is wise to disable this
feature as follows:
1. Press and hold the Call and Volume – buttons for 10 seconds.
2. Turn the headset off and then on again. This eliminates all

Note: Some phones require you to eliminate the BT1 pairing in the
Bluetooth list before you can re-pair to that phone.
Connection priority for multiple phones
When the headset turns on, it is ready for use with the connected
phone that most recently had a call. This phone gets first priority.
• If you use voice commands, they will be directed to this first-
priority phone.
• To use the other phone to make or redial a call, place the call
manually instead of using voice commands. First priority then
switches to this phone.
• If one of these two phones is turned off, the phone that is still on
gains first priority.
